LIGHT Shrimp Fettucine Alfredo

20 weeks. Really? There is a part of me that says, “Wow…this pregnancy is flying by.” And then, there’s this other part of me that screams, “That’s IT?!” Whatever the case, we are half way there…half way to Christmas…half way to a baby we hope is our greatest gift yet. While yesterday marked 20 Weeks, today is our “Official” Ultrasound at UIHC. I’m nervous. I’m excited. I’m ready to take a another peak at this blessing we know as Baby B3. Will our ultrasound with Abbey prove right again? Is Beau sending us another little boy? Most importantly, will he be healthy? Prayers sent. Fingers crossed.

Unlike my pasta cravings when I am NOT pregnant, the first trimester brought an interesting craving for me…ALFREDO. Fortunately, I was sharp enough (despite the extreme exhaustion) to look up a “healthier” alfredo…or at the very least, a “lower cal…lower fat” option. To my surprise, this Cooking Light recipe hit.the.spot. In fact, I’ve whipped it up a couple of times for friends as well. And, there were “thumbs up” all around!

If you, like me, suddenly crave an alfredo dish, give this one a try! I think you will be pleasantly surpised….and there will be zero guilt afterwards! INDULGE!

Cook the pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain pasta in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Combine shrimp, onions, and garlic in a small bowl. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil; swirl to coat. Add shrimp mixture, and sauté for 4 minutes or until shrimp are done. Remove from pan; keep warm.

About Me…

My name is Robin & I'm encouraging you to indulge in life, in love, and in food. Many of these recipes aren't for calorie-counters, but I believe richness, indulgence, and elegance has its place too. I love my work but in my free time, I also love to cook, host family and friends, travel as often as I can, and then simply relax at home. Through this blog, I hope to share some of my indulgences with you! Enjoy.
